Fart Missoula, Montana, May 18, 1941
Mr. II. J. Walla,
Assistant Chief Supervisor of Border Patrol, Immigration And naturalization Service, Fort Lincoln, N. P.
Doer :.!r. Walls:
At Stf per pound, what our bread coots us here, Dale figured out a neat Gavin;: by esp&fcng bread from hero to Lincoln by truck. Ilotrevor, aLnce you can buy it there for G<f and have a {pod chance of getting inj^'the Army bakory thoro, - c*ll forget about it* It might be worth looking into at some later date if the picture should chance materially.
A3 to the coup reflations, I am working on then now. I Just ro-ceived some informative literature fron ?. Kelly and it should take ne only a few days to whip something into shapo.
I an croatly ourprioed that the 7th Corps Area should adopt ouch
an attitude.
As to the hospital equipment, we are now engaged in checking such equipment hero. *7e are also checking the supplies, While wo have no definite authority as yot to take it over we thought wo might start chocking and have It ready to transfer when the second group of 483 arrivod at 7.30 on the morning of the 20th. There will be considerable that we will not take in view of the fact that wo must pay for It. I Why not wait with taking over that until we complete our list and can send you a copy. The medical equipment and supplies here will bo carefully selected by the crew doctor and checked by the one who is coining the 20th and should, therefore, represent the minimum requirements.
I seriously doubt that there will be enourfx room there for a cooks end bakers school and outf activity. The CCC is bad enough; it, however, is of sone assistance to us. I doubt that there will be any more than enourji housing facilities for our officers there and the District CCC oomuander. I have asked that all other residences be vacated here as soon as possible. I note a definite tendency to hang on as long as possible. I wish I had asked them to vacate when we first came here.
You apparently are making {pod progress with the fence. It is my understanding that about 300 will bo sent there as soon as it is completed. In view of your labor shortage there why donft you ask that lb out 40 (1 car load) be sent over immediately to help sot the place up? As soon as the fence posts aro set you can outline the area out of which they may not pass and it should take but three men on duty each shift to keep thorn in. I am sending you a copy of ray preliminary order covering the situation here upon the arrival of the first group. You may find it of some service.
I note that you are following closely the line-up of buildings which we have in mind here. You have the big advantage of having bettor buildings, however.
